A fantastic book. Well written in an easy to follow, step by step (well month by month) guide. Having never owned a spaniel & having never trained a dog this book takes you through from the absolute basics to areas of training I don't think I'd need unless competing in FT's.

i have only read this book up to the 6 monthes of age up to yet and have found it quite easy to follow. all what is required of the dog up to this stage is very simple when following the steps that are guided in this book i would recomend this book even to the novice trainer not just as a gun dog guide as training is very fun for the trainer and dog
